John 14:15 is not a command but a promise.
In the Greek it says that if you love Jesus you will keep His commandments.
There’s a difference between it being an order for Law keeping and a declaration of what to expect as the natural outworking of the new birth that the born again, born from above believer will live like.

If you love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15 Like this one?
Matthew 23: 8-10 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers.And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ.

To which commandments do YOU think Jesus referred?... Are you aware that if you could keep the Ten given through Moses that you would not need the Cross?
